This sounds really good - browning the rice before adding it to the liquid and other ingredients - oh, nom!

Huzzah! Finally had a batch of Pan de Muerto come out looking as good as they taste. These aren't sugared yet as I've found it's best to sugar them right before you're gonna eat them otherwise the butter you use to get the sugar to stick will make them get soggy if they are stored like that.

Definitely by next Dia de Muertos, I'll be practiced enough at these to be able to put them on the bakery website for ordering.

6 golden brown Pan de Muerto rolls sit on a white plate. Each roll has decorative "bone" shaped dough crossing the roll on 4 sides with a ball on top.

I invested in a GOOD tortilla press as I was tired of having to press my cheap little grocery store bought one 5 times on each corn tortilla to get it the right thickness. Was able to cook them to flexible perfection in one press!

Man this thing is a beast, solid and heavy too. In a home invasion scenario, this might be the kitchen weapon of choice, smack someone with this thing and at the least you'll knock them out! 😂

...and some grilled tuna with fresh Mexican salsa, and cucumber-radish salad on the side. Great side kick to the Rajas con Crema.

Hatch Chile Season is always the best time to get out the Pazaar Közmatik for roasting! Inspired by a post of Rajas con Crema that included golden Yukons, I decided to try it myself (although it turned out more like a casserole) but made the perfect side dish to Mexican grilled tuna.

I roasted, peeled, sliced the chiles, layered them with roasted golden Yukons, shredded tortillas, made a cheesy cream sauce, topped with jalapeños & spices. Giddy up!!
